Having read many feminist books, it is quite hard to find inclusive books of all women (black, white, brown, trans women,...) but Kate Manne did it! Her book is very insightful and at times a hard read emotionally for a woman but overall it is an easy read. Highly recommend

Entitled by Kate Manne does an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in accessible language without ever seeming to talk down to the reader. She provides compelling examples for every point she makes as she breaks down the different types of male entitlement prevalent in Western societies. By utilising sources from social media, other books and relevant studies, Manne show just how damaging pandering to male entitlement is to everyone; it limits what is possible for women based on nothing more than the arbitrary basis of gender. I appreciated how inclusive Manne was in her language always ensuring that she highlighted the unique challenges faced by marginalised groups including trans and non-binary people and people of colour. The impressive amount of research she did for the book is evident in the sizeable notes section full of further explanation and additional resources for those who wish to dig even deeper into male entitlement, its roots and how we can work towards a more inclusive society. I'm not entirely surprised that I loved this book since I strongly agree with Manne's stance on feminism and inclusivity - in my case, she was very much preaching to the converted. Unfortunately, those who most need to read this work are probably the ones least likely to read it - the men whose sense of entitlement has proven to be so damaging to men, women and everyone in between. While it is highly unlikely, I hope Manne's book makes its way into at least a few entitled men's hands, they could certainly learn a thing or two from it if they could only put their sense of entitlement aside for long enough to hear what it is she is trying to say.

I went into this book thinking it would be interesting and an accessible read but this was just too dry and it was not that accessible. The writing was dry and i found this too dry and far too preachy in what it was saying. This had promise but it completely missed the mark for me.
